Bill Thompson Rents Ads-by-Bicycle to Woo Borough Park Voters

Here’s an ironic twist for the mayoral candidate who all but ignored bicycling and walking in his transportation platform: Bill Thompson has rented mobile advertisements-by-bike, with yellow-vested, red-helmeted riders pedaling around Borough Park with Yiddish-language advertisements for his campaign.

It’s also worth noting that in Hasidic South Williamsburg, home of the famous erased Bedford Avenue lane, nearly every grocery store, large and small, offers delivery by cargo bikes. It’s kind of a funny paradox – a community whose religious leaders have lobbied against bike lanes and told their adolescent boys not to bike, but where businesses use bikes to haul groceries.

He also had ads on the back of trucks. I saw this truck by Brooklyn’s Borough Hall this morning. This is a man that does not get it. Adding to congestion and polluting just so we can see his name and face.
